Showcase project

Veal project: animal welfare, regionality, profit

Several Tyrolean organic farmers from the lowlands and a butcher from Hochfilzen are setting an example throughout Austria with their cooperation. Tyrolean veal from suckler farms is very popular in German-speaking countries. It is also served by the professional footballers of RB Leipzig and in Borussia Dortmund's European Championship stadium.

Martin Fankhauser from Kirchdorf runs a BIO AUSTRIA farm with suckler cow husbandry. The calves drink from their mothers and stay on the farm until they are about a year old. Then they are slaughtered - but not somewhere in Europe or Africa, but in nearby Söll.
